Hahahahaha. No. Unless you class being shit as being a big club. In which case we would be in the Premier League.
lildave3 Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 I don't know where to start. Well saying that we're smaller than Forest would be a good start I reckon.
The People's Hero Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 Errr.... are you having a giggle? Both Forest and Leeds played at that level last year and are bigger clubs than us. They have had genuine domestic and european success. Don't know why I bother. Wa nker.
The People's Hero Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 I don't know where to start. Fetching me a cuppa would be my choice...
Benjani Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 What about the majority of the prem and entire championship who have also played in this league?
The Reverend Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 Hang on chaps, forget the biggest team in league 1, we arfe the biggest team in the world. Probably. Maybe. Not.
The People's Hero Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 I'm willing to bet that Foxes4Life was born in the 90's.
lildave3 Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 I'm willing to bet that Foxes4Life was born in the 90's. That's a slur on anyobdy who was born in the 90's. I.e me.
stez Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 who put it in here? i bet whatever cheeky anarchist did it was born in the 70's
Nationwider Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 Man City: Twice champions. Four FA Cup wins. Two League Cups. A European Title. 30,000+ gates in the third tier. They play in a stadium built for the Commonwealth games, in the third largest city in England. Their active fanbase is about 1 million, in the UK alone. They are owned by a former Prime Minister. They sh*t all over us.

Pull yourself aside and have a word.

Maybes Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 Biggest club in league one.....get out mate. Leeds are far bigger than us and so are forest. Based on history.
Finnegan Posted 12 May 2008 Posted 12 May 2008 Just take off those teams from the current Premier League table and you've still got plenty of teams that have played in this tier, that are bigger now, and have bigger histories than us. Aston Villa strike me as the most obvious, surprised no one's mentioned them yet. Blackburn obviously, Bolton have won four FA Cups, Man City see above, Boro have been UEFA cup runners up, Pompey were nearly the first team to ever do the League / FA Cup double (when we stopped them) and Sunderland have 6 (admitedly pre-war) titles. Stupid, stupid thread.

Stupid, stupid thread. Villa and Sheff Wed got near-50000 crowds in the third tier. But we have still more potential than Blackburn, Boro, Bolton and Pompey. Even during this season we regularly got bigger gates than three of those teams. And in the Premier League era, only the big four have won more trophies than us.
Ultra Posted 13 May 2008 Posted 13 May 2008 Leeds, and Manchester City, perhaps. Forest? You're having a laugh...
